Hi! Thanks for your post. It looks like I am having the same problem with my 99 Express. Did you find out what was wrong with the lower sockets? I had my tail lights apart last night and could not figure out what was wrong. Then I did a search and found this forum. Did you notice any differences between the upper and lower sockets? Thanks!

Thank you for posting this! It was the fix for my brake light problem as well. I found my replacement sockets at NAPA, part # LS6505, but I was a little shocked at the price for them, $30 each!! And they are the same exact part. I couldn't find a suitable replacement at any of the other auto parts stores, I'm sure the dealership has them, but they are probably even more expensive. I just hope they don't start doing they same thing as the old ones!
My van is a 2001 3500 with the 5.7. It's got 121,000 on it right now. It is leaking coolant on the right side of the block. Looks like the head gasket, but it could be an intake gasket (hopefully).
Has anyone had this problem?

I had this problem on both my99's. The Express was leaking externally, the Suburban had water in the oil. Both needed to have the intake gaskets replaced. Factory originals turned to dust-

I had this exact problem. Both lower tail light sock (R&L) had slight corrosion that caused the ground to no longer make contact. I replaced both sockets and it all works now. I replaced the sockets by buying a tail light wiring harness from a GM dealer and using the two sockets on the wiring harness, one for each side. I just clipped the wires, attached the new sockets, taped it all back up, and was done. To replace the complete wiring harness requires taking inside panels off, etc. Too much work. Just replacing the lower tail light sockets is all that was necessary and splicing them into the existin wiring harness worked fine. A wiring harnes cost around $70 from the dealer, so save yourself &70 and just buy one of them.
It looks like the GMC vans must have a problem with water getting into the lower socket since there a number of people posting with the same problem.

Hi,
I drive a 1997 GMC Savana 1 ton van. The two outside rear brake lights don't work, but the upper center bar brake light does. I've checked the fuses and the lamps and they are OK. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks in advance for your replies.
